Tho great Western Mail from New York lo Cincinnati ii brought over it, instead of over the mountains to Wheeling, &c.

Osgood has invented and constructed an Elevator, now in operation at the State Jouruul office, which we coiuidur worthy uf mention, and a visit to seo it. It raises forms, by steam power, from the Press room to these occupied by Compositors, and is so constructed that it raises two double trap-doors and closes them Use IT, ascending or descending, and stops ui the highest or lowest room all without human aid, iir noise. We do not see how any accident could possibly happen to a machine constructed like this, and wo could nut but admire the fertility of a genius that is constantly producing some result that promotes esse and wealth though the in von tor himself, we boliove, has derived no bom-fit from uny patent unless his counting machine is an exception. Wo understand Mr. 0. is constructing a Printing press, for which he has, or soon will have, a patent. II this does not provo the press of the ago, it will be his first failure, and we shall be mistaken iu his powers. While others ut o reaping fortunes from patents of doubtful utility, Mr. O- iscunlerring substantial benefit upon I the craft, without adequate- reward. Wo oro confident, ! however, that he will soon pass from "labits to rewords."We clip the above from the Elevator. Hundreds have admired the contrivance of Mr Osgood for opening aud shutting tho trap doors mentioned above. The printing press above referred to, wo hope to have in operation in our office before many months. If it dues not greatly fail, it will be the printing pres. of the age. It will print both sides uf the paper in passing through, and whitt is still more, will have a folding machine of Mr. Osgood's invention, which will deliver the papers nicely folded mid ready for distribution. " Wait a little longer," und there will ho sights to ae of Mr. Osgood's invention that cauuol tail to attract gieat attention. Wise' l'JjOtli AsceiiNiou, Made from Columbus, Ohio, July Fourth, IH.il. My bullion ascension, made from Columbus on Fii-Uay lat, although of shnrtor duration than it was intended tn have been, was not without intorosi as a uci-I'niitic affair. Iu I ho first place it proved tho value of practice in the art, for without that, the ascension, surrounded with rircumstoncesof anad verse nature, would not havo been niudo at all. Aud i do not arrogate to inyelf any credit for having overcome these adverse circumstances, but rather bless my stars for having re ceived the plaudits and good locliugs of ten thousand gratified spectators who honored me with their presence on the occasion. When I found the Mallnon hud received a slight rupture, at a point whero ii was impracticable to repair it, I thought it advisable to anticipate the lime of starting, as announced in the programme, by JO minutes, aud must, therefore, nuw plead my apology to those citizons ol Columbus, whom I informed that thu ascent would tttko place at 'i o'clock, precisely. started at 20 minutes belore 3 o'clock, and rose al most perpendicularly lor the first ten minutes. All this tune I wus passing through an atmosphere highly impregnated with hydrogen, escaping from the Hal loon, and for the first three thousand tret of my ascent, it was like passing through an ordeal ol fire. The radi ating power ol the Balloon, with the pungent abrading effects ot tho escaping hydrogen, caused a feeling more like passing through tho descriptive paiusol purgatory thau like sensations which we might naturally expect to arise in sailing heavenward over such a blessed frurtilo bind as the State of Ohio. When I got uf a mile high, this unpleasant feeling ceased the bal loon having gradually approached bur equilibrium. Here I woke up to more congenial feelings the city of Columbus lay out before me like a well denned map, and the ini-niideruig ormio looked like a way worn iu oneer who had reached the further most point of his career. The National Pike shot its straight white line eastward until it was lost in the tar distant oust, and aud the lew little villa; which wero in sight, basked inactively in the sunshine, no groups of human beings to enliven their streets, all their inhabitants haviug oume 'o uoiumniis iu ceiuuraio me nations uaiat day. 'fun country arotmrl Columbus is henuiihilly dotted with farms, but anti-coal folks net d not yet bo u I armed at the innovations of coal; for there is plenty ol wood- laud yet to supply the prosent generation with cheap wood met ui ait r raiixiiu county. When i tud readied the altitude or a mile, 1 com- uienccd some exjieriments upon the spiral movement of bodies when tailing through the air. There is cer tainly a law ot nature which tends alt bodies to rotate and gyrate. All substances that I dropped from my car partook of this double, or rathrr compound motion. and in my hnmblo opinion it is this very law which gives thepmiduluin in Koc ault's experiment the appearance of ilemoiist rating viaiblv thocurth'aditiriial motion, since it is an effect arising from a cause that indirectly approximates his theoretical resumption as the true aud original came of the pendulum's variation willi a given line. 1 threw overboard two pieces ol thin board four inches wide and three leet long. They both descend ed with a rotary und gyratory motion spinning rapid ly on their longer axes horizontally, while at the same . time they described spiral gyrations uf nut less thau 'J 00 fcot in diameter. I was now aloft half an hour, und had expended in that time 40 pounds uf ballast, a quantity required lo overcome the leaky condition of my air ship, and a quantity sullicient to havo kept me up 40 hours if the Balloon had received no damage before I started. While at the highest point, I conversed with people who were at loast two mike from me in a horizontal direction they invited me down to partake of their luupitalities a characteristic uf tho Ohio people. At 'JO minutes after 3 I was compelled to come down nolens volens. aud down I came iu a hurry havinji ex pended every pound of ballast. I landed iu a woods about 3 miles south of the city, and roI down through the trees without scratch or blemish, but not without considerable chagrin, for my kind host, Kelsey, of the American, had provided me with the substnntials for Hi least a voyage to Wheeling, aud winch i had pieasura bly anticipated to have made. To the thousands of ladies and gentlemen who lion ored the ncenl with their prenonce, 1 feel happily obli Bed, and if the satisfaction of the ascent to them has been half as groat as mine of their nntmrenl npnrrcia tiou of it, it will siaud as a mutual pledge of gratification between us at lung ai memory lasts. To my friend Kinney I tuust return my especial thanks for the kindness and very gentlemanly couduct extended towards mo and my family throughout the whole occasion, as also to my kind host KeUry, of the American Hotel.

We are gratified to learn thai this uld and re.tpeclcd Institution is in a hielily flourishing condition. Tho Ti ustees have recently established a Normal School, or department fur the educution of Teachers of Public Schools. The bcatowmeut of its honors upon those who have been long aud widely kuowu for their services iii the caue ui popular education is convincing proof that those in clmrgo of the Institution sy mpnthize with the vigorous ell'oits now making by tho Touchers uf the Slate tu improve our schools and school system, New Mexico. The first message of Governor James S. Calhoun to tho members of the Council, and the Homo of Bcpre- sontativos of the territory of Now Mexico, ia before ui. It is a sensible, practical and well written document. There are mauy important matters for the new Legislature to attend to, and Guvernor Calhoun points them uut with clearness, and recommends the appropriate remedy. The difficulties of starting a new government among a penplo who havo so long been accustomed tu a d ih'ront policy is duly appreciated. Wo givo a few extracts from tho Message : The relations between master nnd peons bhould be distinctly defined, and each should understand their respective obligations ; and appropriate remedies for a violation of ilium, upon the paitof cither, should bo provided. "Freo negroes nro regarded as nuisances in every State and Territory in thu Union, nnd where they nro tolerated, society is most degraded. I trust tho Legislature will pass a law (lint will prevent their entrance into this territory. Tho disgusting degradation to which society is subjected by their presence, is obvi ous to all, and demands a prohibitory uct of tho sover-esi character. There is not a more difficult problem arising in this Territory thau thnt of a proper disposition of our I'ue- bio friends. What should wo do with llicml They aro b'.'re, in our midst, surrounded by our New Mexi can population, anil rightfully, in my opinion, without authority to mingle iu our political all'drs. These people, however, must necessarily have the sumo protec tion that is nllonted to tho most luvoreii. u is a won known fact, that thev own portions of iho richest valley lands in this Tenitory, mid why should tht-y he exempt from paying a just proportion uf the taxes which must bo raised to support ihe Territorial Government! Con cede this point und another question, uecrssarily uris'-s. 1 hey nro tax paying residents, but not miens, ami are you prepared to elovato them tu full fellowship ? I cannot recommend such an union. But it is inevitable, they must be slaves, (depend nis,) equals, or an early removal to a hotter location for (hem uud our own peo ple must occur. llus siibicct is one ol vast import, aim should he well considered, nnd, if you ngreo with rue, Congress mould be memorialized in reiutiouiothe position which you may be pleased to assign them. It is perhaps advisable to pass an net authorizing the extrusion of thu laws of this territory, over the Pueblo Indians within its borders, postponing their extension tn such period as may bo necessary to consult the Government uf Ihe of the United States in reference to the policy to bo pursued, with these Indians. That policy should not be disturbed. In the mean lime, however, 1 recom mend lhat if any one ur more uf the Pueblos should manifest a desire to abandon their separate existence. as a people, that the laws of the territory be imtuedi-atuly extended over them, under such regulation as ou may presenile. The wild Indians who euciicle New Mexico, and who commit their murders, nnd depredations, and soizo captives immediately in the vicinity of our towns and ranchos, must be brought into proper subjection, or xtermiuat'-ri. 1 heir daring anil impudence are equal ed only by their success iu (heir butcheries and devastations and desecrations. In order to bo able to do te nd our firesides, nnd protect the persons und property I tho territory, an elhcirnt militia system should be adopted, aud munitions of war procured. Voluntoer associations are objects of spociul regard in the Stale and territories, and 1 recommend you to encourage iucIi associations, us the surest defence against out breaks, cither nt home or abroad. I ho government of the United States will lako care lo protect the interests this Territory, lo the same extent that other nor I ion f tho Union aro protected. Our isolation causes de lays that are to be regrclted, but in n very Bhorr period we may expect that ample protection uf which the American family may proudly boast. In conclusion allow rne to say to you, uounciiiors and Representatives, that it is my intention, at all times and in all places, to oxerciso my soundest judgment, and to use my beat elforts to promote tho happiness and proiperitv of the people of Now Mexico, uud you may confidently rely upon my hearty co-operation with you in the discharge ol the important duties with whirli weureruiriirtted.

They have presented for the first oll'n.e in he Government uf Ohio, Samuel F. Vinton, of Gall puis than whom a more sterling Whig or irreproacha- lo man lives not upon the son oi utno. it is a great name made eminent by a lone; and glorious career nt public servire and one of which iho Slnlu has been tig and imtly proud. It is a namo mound which tho lugs of the State can rally with confidence and entliu- niaui, nnd enter upon tho canvass wiih the strongest assurances of success. We rejoice that a cnudidnte has ieen selected so admirably qualified in every respect to cuiitur honor on the chief Magistracy of Ohio, and again we say. nobly have the Delegntedischarged the duty a'signud them. Mr. niton is a native ol Massachusetts a State lhat has been prolific in great men and sound principles. He came to llus Citato in IbV.i, nnd settled in (.inlhpn- in the practico of Law. In 1822, alter a residence in that District of only three years, so great was the confidence with which he had inspired the community, that ho was elected to Congress with hardly a dissen- ma voice. He continued iu public service as a Mem ber from that District, until 1836, when he declined a re-election that he might devoir kimscll to the management of his private affairs nnd to tho practice of his proics3ioii. in iS'iu, ne wns again returned to congress from the same District, which he has continued lo represent until toe present nmo Ouriiig tho fust lew years, lew men in the Mouse have occupied so commanding n position or exercjtd so commanding aii influence as Mr. Vinton. For mauy years ho was the recognized icnucrm uie nouac. it whs a position not sought for by him, by freouenl and obtrusive display, but freely conferred upon him by rensou ol his clear, cairn mid inrseeing sagacity, mo unlimited confidence reposed iu his judgment, and the imvetsal regard entertained lor bis private worth. This confidence nnd regard were strongly manifested in iho wish almost unanimously expressed, that he should become the Whig tatulidato for Speaker! and nil will remember thu touching speech In which he leclnuda nomination, on account of the stato ol his health and the arduous nature of the duties required, Near the close ol tho lust session ol Congress Mr Vinton dignified his intention not to bo again a candi date lor re-election, denimdng to retire permanently to I private lite. But the Siato has luithor need ol Ins ser-1 vices, and we aro sure that all good Whigs everywhere will rejoice at ihe humiliation that ha just been mnile. Ho is a candidate that it will be difficult to beat. Hi great namo and high character will prove an impregnable tower of strength. He will bring into the field uti experience in public nllaira, second tu that of uo man in the Statu au ability that none can question a uamo that has long been one uf the brightest ornaments of Ohio and a public and piivate ruputatiou that has passed untarnished through all ihe exciting political turmoils by which me lust quarter oi a centu ry has been distinguished. wings ui uinoi such is our candidate tor uovenmr.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1851. Church and grave-yard luxation The Cincinnati Enquirer lias attempted to answer our remarks on the subject of taxation in the new constitu tion. Inasmuch as there is an appearance of argument about it, wo propose to recur to tuo subject fur a few momouts, by way of roplicaiiou. Tho Enquirer starts oil' with the assumption that we are endeavoring tu " explain" oursolves out ol our po sition. Not so. We have attempted nothing of tho kind. Wudishuctly and positively affirmed our im pression of the meaning tu ba attached to tho clause uf Iho constitution under consideration. We may be wrong iu tins, but we shall continue tu occupy the same ground till we ure convinced we aro mistaken. We shall attempt to explaiu away nothing. We havo no object to gain in mis-representing the new constitution, and we trust tho spirit of enndor aud fuiruess may prevail in all discussions that may spring up under it. Thai the argument against us may appear in full, we copy tho entire conclusion of its article from tho Enquirer! " The Journal, nfter defining now its position in the canvass as well as tlmt of intelligent Whigs, asks us tu slate explicitly, whether burying grounds and church- cb will not ho taxed under the nuwcoiistitution, unless tbey are relieved by an express uct of some future Legislature? Wo answer as explicitly no, not a bit more lliau under iheold coiistilni'on. cllud the-old constitution been oiiutioiied, Li iho framing of niiy future tux law, churches and Krave-vaids would have to bo spe cially exempted by (he law, tn keep them from being taxed. It is just so under the new ; in frarniiigauy future tax law, churches und grave-yards will have to bo speciully exempted by the law, tu keep them from being taxed. Put the Journal says thai all it and every intelligent Whig bus said is, lhat the only way church-es and grave-yards can escape taxation is fur some future Legislature to pass a law exempting tnn from luxation. If by that the Journal means to say that it is the duty uf county Auditors, now that the new constitution is adopted, to put ou tho duplicate ull church properly, grave-yards, &c, und tax them as other real estate, and thnt they cannot bo exempt from taxation unless lliey are relieved by an ox press act of some future Legislature, we say it is altogether mistaken. One of the provisions of the new constitution declares that 'all laws of the Smte, iu force on the first day of September, 1851, not incontutent with this Constitution, shall continue in force until amended or repealed.' 1 We havo now a general tax law on our statute book. This law, iu the 3d section thereof, states what property shall be exempt from taxation, among which ore ' 1st. All public buildings occupied or used exclusively as public school houses, ores places of public worship, or both ; with the furniture and books (herein, used exclusively lor the accommodation uf school or religious meetings, together with the grounds, not exceeding in any cuso five acres, occupied ihert by, it not leaned or otherwise used with a view to profit. 2d. All lands used exclusively as gravuyuids, or grounds for burying the dead.' So much uf this law as is not inconsistent with iho ci-nstittition will continue iu force until amended or repealed. This law exempts from taxation public school houses, graveyards aud churches ; the now constitution provide that the Legislature may exempt this class ol property from luxation; so there is uo inconsistency, thnt Ur, between this law nnd iho new constitution, and it will, thut fnr at leant, havo to bo executeiluntil amended or ropeuled by Iho Legislature. There is one part of Ihe law inconsistent willi the new constitution, and that is, the exemption ol lauds not exceeding five acres attached to churches. The constitution says : j ' Burying grounds, public school houses, houses used exclusively for public worship, institutions of purely public charity, public property used exclusively for any public purpose, aud personal property to any amount not exceeding in value two hundreddollarslbi each individual, may, by general Jaws, be exempted from taxation.' These vacant lands attached to churches are not included in the property, which the new constitution says may be exempted from taxation ; they must therefore be taxed ; we do not sny they must bo put ou the duplicate uf this year, but ihoy cerlainly must on those of future years. But so far a churches and graveyards are conceruod they will remain untaxed until n future Legislature shall change the present law and refuse to exempt such property from laxation. We hope the Journal is nnswared." There aro several points to notice in the above. And 1st. We meet the remark that ihe new constitution is precisely the same as tbd o'A one on this subject ul taxation with a lint denial. Tbey are entirely dissimilar. Wo ask Ihe Editors of the Enquirer lo take ihe old constitution, and read it through carefully, and then tell us where they find tho clause, or any thing that looks like the clause, that taxes any kind uf property, or make it the duty uf the Legiilature tu assess taxes for any purpose. It doe not exist therein. The only thing that is construed iuto the conferring of that right is a clauso in tho 11th section of the 1st article, w hich says that each branch of the General Assembly " shall have all the power necessary for a branch of the Legislature of a free and independent Siate." If they can find any thing that comes nearer tu it than this, then point it out. The uniform practice under the old constitution has been to tax only such things as were included in terms, aud by uamo, in tho law imposing the tax. When the famous Whig tax law of 1B46 was passed, it introdu- ml a new feature. It expresdy taxed all property in tho State, except such as by its own terms were tu be exempt. Hence the clause quoted from tho law in iho quirer. The law first made a provision that all prop erly should be taxed. Il was not the constitution. If the constitution hail made such a provision, it would avo beep nuiiseuse to strengthen uud ro-athrm it in a laic. But no such folly wns committed. Tho Enqui rer i therefore cbarly wrong uluit it says that the new constitution is not a bit more explicit than the old The Greek Slave, purchased by Mr. Corcoran, of Washington, is now on exhibition in New York. There are three copie of that famous work extant, two of thtm art in England. The Whitf Mule Ticket.

This controversy has arisen from a difference iu the old constitution and Iho now ou the subject of taxing churches, &c. The Enquirer suv the two comliin. tious aro just alike iu this. We aver they are not.

There was no exemption in ilieso luws, and there was no taxation of churches, &c. Why 7 Because the constitution, unlike the new one, did not lax tlietn, and, of course, it did not require a law to exempt them from taxation. This, at once, and effectually settles the case. The Enquirer is clearly wrong iu its inter proration of (he old constitution, as ihe whole history of our legislation goes to establish. Omission.

Put nam and the vicinity assembled extemporaneously for the purpose uf expressing the satisfaction they felt with the conduct of the Convention, and also of particularly and publicly expressing thnt satisfaction to the candidates within reach. Accordingly, to Mr. Vinton, who happened to be at the residence ol a relative in Putnam, and to Messrs. Convers and Lyman, they paid the com pliment of an en masse visit, and received from each of them responses appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Vinton was introduced to the assemblage bv Gen. Goddard, who, in doing so, happily alluded in gonerai Terms io in cnarncter as a statesman, and with j unable emphasis directed attoution to one or two par ticular actions during his long congressional enreor, which had been productive uf more than ordinary ben efit to the country nt large. Mr. Vinton's reply was brief, and as he intimated, would probably have been confined lo acknowledging his acceptance of the nomination conferred upon him by the Convention, and to express his thanks tu his friends present for their approval of that nomination, but the remarks of General Goddard rendered it proper that he should somewhat deviate from his first intention. But as since we commenced writinii this sketch we have received a copy of Mr. Vinton' remarks, wo have the pleasure ol relernng our readers to them. Messrs. Convers and Lvman of course needed no in troduction to the fellow-cilizens amonowhom tbav hitd long reaiueu. cacn oi mem Drieiiy aim ntiy expressed his thank for the attention he had received. We were much pleased lhat Mr, Convers stated it was not his intention to engage personally in the canvass. We consider it improper and of injurious tendency for a candidate for the Supreme Judgeship to personally engage in the political strife that must precede the election, and we earnestly hope lhat all candidates for lhat high station will follow (lie exnmple set by Mr.Convers. Mr. Lymnn, in addition lo acknowledging the kind- no of his friend in calling upon him, referred briefly to the action of the Convention, the large number of delegate who were present, and the entire harmony aud unanimity which influenced their nroceedinss. We expect to hear from Mr. Ljmun often between litis and ucioher. The whole affair passed off admirably and we take as a sood augury, that the canvass has been opened on the Fourth of July and in the Whig county of Mns- Kingum. The Belproand the Hillsboro Railroad quarrel remain unadjusted. Both think they are right, and are talking uf running separato lines to Cincinnati. It wont pay Look at the language of the new iustruiueut Sec tion 2 Article 12 says; " Laws shall be passed taxing, y a uniform rule, all money, credits, investments in uids, Blocks, joint stock companies or otherwise, mid ilsu, all real und personal property, according lo its true vahio in money," Is tht-ro uny such requisition n the old Clearly not. Clearly, by the old consti tution nothing i imposed on the subject of taxation, ut every thing i left tu the wisdom and dicretiou of the Legislature, to tax such properly as they might spe- ify, and by the above extract from the now, it is finally evident that the rule is reversed, and that every thing iu the nmtpe of properly, real or personal, &.c, ii to be taxed. In short, the distinction is this : By tin old constitution nothing is taxed, except it ba included in the tax law ; by the new every thing is faxed, ex cept it be specially exempted by a lax law. Due the Enquirer comprehend the diffi rence T Let us now turn lo the mam bruch of the argument. Doe It require a law, hereafter, tu exempt Church property, &c. from taxation T Wo must be permitted to say (hat tho Enquiter ha made a sophistical argu ment, and wo ask tho close and candid attention of the reader, while wo expose its errors, mid refute iis conclusions. If wo fail in this by clear, logical rousutr ing, then the logical reader v ill certainly kuuw it. Thu 2d sec. of the 12ih art. ul the Constitutiuu reads: " Laws shall be passed, taxing by a uniform rule all money, cretins, ore. oee inu quoiaiiou above. Here is a positive requisition. Hero is a command a duty imposed upon a future legislature, to pass laws taxing all kinds of properly. " Laws iuali, be passed," that Ihe language. It has uu refureuce tu the past laws. They were framed ou a d liferent basis. The tax law does not tax all properly except such as may be ox- empt from taxafion uudei this section. The Enquirer admits that new law on taxation must bo passed to comply willi the Constitution. These law must embody a priuciple taxing all property without any exception. There is no escaping this. Thu legislature mutt lo it, or fuil to comply with their oaths. It is uuo of those imperative provision that are imposed upon them, just as much as it i to fix the salaries of Judge uud officers of State, to provide lor raising revenue to de fray Iho expenses he State, &c, &c, u any discus sion upon this subject we take it for grautcd that iho first legislature will do its duty, and pass such law a uro imperatively required of them. If the aume body can agree to exempt churches, &c., from taxation we have expressed our opinion they would, then tho matter will stand as it doe now undor Ihe old instru ment. But if they fail to incorporate a clause exempt ing llieio item from taxation, then it i inevitably true thnt, under the law required and commanded by this section they must be taxed. Is there any way to es cape from Ihis conclusion 1 We see but one, and that is lor ibe Enquirer to contend that this 2d section doe not uioun that they "shall" do this, but that it means they may do it if they see fit, or merely give them the power ot taxing all kind of properly if they think It ; expedient. But when this section talk of taiing Bank Stock, &c, we presume the Enquirer will not contend that the legislature baa a discretion to do, or not to do, as it sees fit. Then, the term " shall" will mean something more thau permission. It will rise to the dignity of a positive command, which cannot be shunned without compromising with plain duty and disregarding a UaighUorward, positive oath. Remarka ol Mr Vinton. At Putnam, Ohio, July 4th, on the occasion of his nomina tion tor tiovernor by the Yhtr State Convention being announced to him by Uen. Goddard, in behalf of the tvntgs oj aiusmngum county. Gen.

Vinton rimed! Fdom CM- the County of MuMngum .'I return you my sincere thanks kr this demonstration of your kindness, nnd moat ospeciuny ir ui inenta expressed on your behalf by my friend, (Gen Goddard,) whom you have deputed lo address me. In tMMinir tbrouL'h vour citv on mv way to the East ern State, I was yesterday informed that the Whig Convention, then assembled at uoiumuua, iiuu nominated me lor the office of Governor of Ohio. This nomination, coming from ao distinguished mi assemblage, could not be otherwiio man grainy mg w wr, -uu u miii-a sn as it was unsolicited and unexpected by m I have not yet been officially notified of the nomination, but hftv no doubt notice of it will be amnmunicated tn mo in due time and in an appropriate manner. For this reason, when I heard you were coming lo pay your respects, I douoteu in my own muiu wni-iuw, .lv.. nf .nob a notice, it would be proper for me do more than simply lo return you my thank for your kindness; but the pencil that tin just been made on your behalf render it impossible lor me not to say somethiufl more in reply. It oner a titling occasion v nn nr two thitics that it mav be well enough n.V known. One (and which I am sure will be gratifying to the people of Ohio) is, that having been lor many years a Representative in Congress from this State, I lake it for granted they are not ignorant uf my political opinion; I shall nut, therefore, during this canvass call them from their firesides and business, and congregate them together to listen to addresne from mo, unless some great necessity for it shall arise from some cause not now foreseen. You have been pleased to say that the county of Mu. kin gum gave a large majority against the new conatitu Hon, and, that if the mav bo said to be the last to iv her asseut to that instrument, she will be first in ready nnd cheerful obedience to its requirements. This, gentlemen, is precisely the language that I expected to hear here iu tho Inrge and respectable county ul Mus. kiugnin, which, from the earliest infancy of the State down to the present time, has always exerted a lending and salutary influence upon our public policy. Like many tu you, i iuo Umibted whether, ou the whole, Ihe new constitution would be found to be nn improvement uu mo uiu, anu, under uto influence o that doubt. 1 cast my vote agatn-it its adoption. When the Conven tion inai irameu this instrument was in session my whole time was so much fK-cuoii-d in the disrhnrpe nf indispensable public duties as Iu leave me uo leisure to read the dubatoa of ihe Convention and learn the views of that body. When, however, they presented that instrument lo the people for their consideration, having lime then to devote to ihoBuhiect. I felt it tn im a duty that I, in common with all others, owed to myself, to the community, and to those who shall come after us, to carefully, impattially, and honeslly study and compnre its provision with the old constitution. I could not, however, conceal from myself the fnct, lhat I felt for ihe old conntituiion something of lhat nUec-lion and sentiment which hover nround an old and ven-orated fuimly mansion. I could not turret that as a State we had at the beginning storied out with our political existence under it lhat we had alwnvs lived nu. der its protection that our children had been born and nurtured up in it lhat from a small beginning wo had grown up under il to bo one of iho greatest, most prosperous, and powerful communities of this great republicso much so. that everywhere, all ihe world over, wherever the Siate ol Ohio is known, it is point- eu io auu Bdmiueu to be the tirat and brightest example of unparalted public and private prosperity; and that, so far from failing to perioral Ub accustomed functions, and checking our onward career, we were never in a higher and palmier slate of prosperity uud advancement thau at present. Time had indeed rendered some repair to il necessary; but with some Blight exceptions, the old limbers nun trame worit were a Mound as ever. I did not ink it wise to abandon Ihe comfortable fireside of ie old mansion and move into lliia new political hub- tation, without a certainty that we should bettor our londition. I his question, however, lias been fully and fairly considered by the wholo household, and they tave decided to move. As a private citizen. I shall no over iuto the new habitation, with cheerfulness and contentment, and shall indulge in no fretfuluesBor peevishness because my voice was overruled in this faultily matter. The expediency uf adopting the new constitution is no longer an open question. We uro past it coniideraiion. It is now the constitution of Ihe State, and aa such binding on us all. I sincerely hope it win uisnppoim uie i ears ot alt who doubted the policy of its adoption, and impart u new and decided impulse to the high career of uiir prosperity. Il is now the common properly of all, for good or lor evil. And being the highest law of the Stale, if by your vote and the votes of the people I shall be elevated to the place if their chief magistrate. I here declare that among the thousands who gave their support to tho new con stitution there is uo uno of them who shull be found more anxious, willing and ready than myself honestly to do all in my power to nut it into the fullest and most beneficial operation, according to the true spirit und design of the instrument. lou are correct in saying thnt the first term of the ief magistrate, under the new constitution, will be a period of mnrked interest tu (he people of the Stale. ii uuaouoieuiy must oe in the nrst book iu tho pout- il existence of our eroat Stale is now finished, sealed and committed lo the hand of truihful and faithful his lory. Whatever the future may have iu store for ut, the past, at least, issnfe; we, aud our posterity utter ua, may look back wiih pride and gratification on our past history, in which the old constitution will be a conspicuous and euduring monument of Iho wisdom and forecast of the early fathers of the State. It now remain for us to endeavor, at (he opening of this new lumeoi our History, to rise to a still higher prosper- ty tins ib tho groat work that lies beforo us; and lowever important it mav be to have a chief niaei trate willing and able to help it on, yet, considering the very limited power conferred upon him, it is un louuicdiy oi lar greater moment that Ihe tirst Legislature and the first bench of judges should be composed of wise, able and experienced men. Upon the former will devolve the difficult and important duty uf passing those laws which are necessary to put ihe uew mn- lino uf government into action, and upon Ihe latter. the almost equally import ant duty uf giving a sound and correct interpretation to such parts of the iustiu- mem as mny ne Drought into question, in a word, we have before us the great work of building up a new legislative and new judicial code. Unwise laws at the beginning, or unsound judicial interpretation, will almost certainly be followed by evil consequences, which will be all but impossible to correct in alter time You have done me the honor to advert in very com plimentary and gratifying term to a speech delivered by me in the House of Representatives, on the bill to admit the State of Iowa aud Florida into Hie Union. That speech was delivered at a period of public tranquility, and before the feelings and passions of the pub lic had been excited and roused by the agitation of the question of the annexation of Texas, and the other great, disturbing and unhappy controversies that have since noweu irom inai measure, as ineir common ana primary source. 1 had been led to reflect what influ- oii'-e the great valley of tho Mississippi, in which we well, was destined to have on the stability ol Uie t urn. My own reflection conducted me to the conclu sion that the sure and abiding conservative power of the Union was to be found in that great heart of the country which lies between iho Allegheny and Rocky mountains that for its own self-preservation it must ever hold in check the cenmitigai tendencies ot uie. extremes, both on the Atlantic aud Pacific, and especially on ihe former ocean that nature, aa a duty of overruling necessity to ourselves, had made us (he eiianli- atts of the integrity of the Union. And, however the loliiical elements have since been agitated and disturbed, I still adhere with abiding faith tn every opin ion then ottered bv me. But enoimh has since trans lired to satisfy all cool and reflecting men (bat, in the performance of Ihe high duty and destiny of guarding the integrity of the Union, while we must exact from II others a laithlul observance or the requirement ot he constitution, we must ourselves be equally ready nu wining io respeci nil tue rigni mat are sec urea io hem by that instrument, it is only by Die observance if this rule, on all aide and in all parts of the country that we can hope to get op, and preserve our national existence.

Osgood has invented and constructed an Elevator, now in operation at the State Jouruul office, which we coiuidur worthy uf mention, and a visit to seo it. It raises forms, by steam power, from the Press room to these occupied by Compositors, and is so constructed that it raises two double trap-doors and closes them Use IT, ascending or descending, and stops ui the highest or lowest room all without human aid, iir noise. We do not see how any accident could possibly happen to a machine constructed like this, and wo could nut but admire the fertility of a genius that is constantly producing some result that promotes esse and wealth though the in von tor himself, we boliove, has derived no bom-fit from uny patent unless his counting machine is an exception. Wo understand Mr. 0. is constructing a Printing press, for which he has, or soon will have, a patent. II this does not provo the press of the ago, it will be his first failure, and we shall be mistaken iu his powers. While others ut o reaping fortunes from patents of doubtful utility, Mr. O- iscunlerring substantial benefit upon I the craft, without adequate- reward. Wo oro confident, ! however, that he will soon pass from "labits to rewords."We clip the above from the Elevator. Hundreds have admired the contrivance of Mr Osgood for opening aud shutting tho trap doors mentioned above. The printing press above referred to, wo hope to have in operation in our office before many months. If it dues not greatly fail, it will be the printing pres. of the age. It will print both sides uf the paper in passing through, and whitt is still more, will have a folding machine of Mr. Osgood's invention, which will deliver the papers nicely folded mid ready for distribution. " Wait a little longer," und there will ho sights to ae of Mr. Osgood's invention that cauuol tail to attract gieat attention. Wise' l'JjOtli AsceiiNiou, Made from Columbus, Ohio, July Fourth, IH.il. My bullion ascension, made from Columbus on Fii-Uay lat, although of shnrtor duration than it was intended tn have been, was not without intorosi as a uci-I'niitic affair. Iu I ho first place it proved tho value of practice in the art, for without that, the ascension, surrounded with rircumstoncesof anad verse nature, would not havo been niudo at all. Aud i do not arrogate to inyelf any credit for having overcome these adverse circumstances, but rather bless my stars for having re ceived the plaudits and good locliugs of ten thousand gratified spectators who honored me with their presence on the occasion. When I found the Mallnon hud received a slight rupture, at a point whero ii was impracticable to repair it, I thought it advisable to anticipate the lime of starting, as announced in the programme, by JO minutes, aud must, therefore, nuw plead my apology to those citizons ol Columbus, whom I informed that thu ascent would tttko place at 'i o'clock, precisely. started at 20 minutes belore 3 o'clock, and rose al most perpendicularly lor the first ten minutes. All this tune I wus passing through an atmosphere highly impregnated with hydrogen, escaping from the Hal loon, and for the first three thousand tret of my ascent, it was like passing through an ordeal ol fire. The radi ating power ol the Balloon, with the pungent abrading effects ot tho escaping hydrogen, caused a feeling more like passing through tho descriptive paiusol purgatory thau like sensations which we might naturally expect to arise in sailing heavenward over such a blessed frurtilo bind as the State of Ohio. When I got uf a mile high, this unpleasant feeling ceased the bal loon having gradually approached bur equilibrium. Here I woke up to more congenial feelings the city of Columbus lay out before me like a well denned map, and the ini-niideruig ormio looked like a way worn iu oneer who had reached the further most point of his career. The National Pike shot its straight white line eastward until it was lost in the tar distant oust, and aud the lew little villa; which wero in sight, basked inactively in the sunshine, no groups of human beings to enliven their streets, all their inhabitants haviug oume 'o uoiumniis iu ceiuuraio me nations uaiat day. 'fun country arotmrl Columbus is henuiihilly dotted with farms, but anti-coal folks net d not yet bo u I armed at the innovations of coal; for there is plenty ol wood- laud yet to supply the prosent generation with cheap wood met ui ait r raiixiiu county. When i tud readied the altitude or a mile, 1 com- uienccd some exjieriments upon the spiral movement of bodies when tailing through the air. There is cer tainly a law ot nature which tends alt bodies to rotate and gyrate. All substances that I dropped from my car partook of this double, or rathrr compound motion. and in my hnmblo opinion it is this very law which gives thepmiduluin in Koc ault's experiment the appearance of ilemoiist rating viaiblv thocurth'aditiriial motion, since it is an effect arising from a cause that indirectly approximates his theoretical resumption as the true aud original came of the pendulum's variation willi a given line. 1 threw overboard two pieces ol thin board four inches wide and three leet long. They both descend ed with a rotary und gyratory motion spinning rapid ly on their longer axes horizontally, while at the same . time they described spiral gyrations uf nut less thau 'J 00 fcot in diameter. I was now aloft half an hour, und had expended in that time 40 pounds uf ballast, a quantity required lo overcome the leaky condition of my air ship, and a quantity sullicient to havo kept me up 40 hours if the Balloon had received no damage before I started. While at the highest point, I conversed with people who were at loast two mike from me in a horizontal direction they invited me down to partake of their luupitalities a characteristic uf tho Ohio people. At 'JO minutes after 3 I was compelled to come down nolens volens. aud down I came iu a hurry havinji ex pended every pound of ballast. I landed iu a woods about 3 miles south of the city, and roI down through the trees without scratch or blemish, but not without considerable chagrin, for my kind host, Kelsey, of the American, had provided me with the substnntials for Hi least a voyage to Wheeling, aud winch i had pieasura bly anticipated to have made. To the thousands of ladies and gentlemen who lion ored the ncenl with their prenonce, 1 feel happily obli Bed, and if the satisfaction of the ascent to them has been half as groat as mine of their nntmrenl npnrrcia tiou of it, it will siaud as a mutual pledge of gratification between us at lung ai memory lasts. To my friend Kinney I tuust return my especial thanks for the kindness and very gentlemanly couduct extended towards mo and my family throughout the whole occasion, as also to my kind host KeUry, of the American Hotel.

Tho Ti ustees have recently established a Normal School, or department fur the educution of Teachers of Public Schools.

The first message of Governor James S. Calhoun to tho members of the Council, and the Homo of Bcpre- sontativos of the territory of Now Mexico, ia before ui. It is a sensible, practical and well written document. There are mauy important matters for the new Legislature to attend to, and Guvernor Calhoun points them uut with clearness, and recommends the appropriate remedy. The difficulties of starting a new government among a penplo who havo so long been accustomed tu a d ih'ront policy is duly appreciated. Wo givo a few extracts from tho Message : The relations between master nnd peons bhould be distinctly defined, and each should understand their respective obligations ; and appropriate remedies for a violation of ilium, upon the paitof cither, should bo provided. "Freo negroes nro regarded as nuisances in every State and Territory in thu Union, nnd where they nro tolerated, society is most degraded. I trust tho Legislature will pass a law (lint will prevent their entrance into this territory.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1851. Church and grave-yard luxation The Cincinnati Enquirer lias attempted to answer our remarks on the subject of taxation in the new constitu tion. Inasmuch as there is an appearance of argument about it, wo propose to recur to tuo subject fur a few momouts, by way of roplicaiiou. Tho Enquirer starts oil' with the assumption that we are endeavoring tu " explain" oursolves out ol our po sition. Not so. We have attempted nothing of tho kind. Wudishuctly and positively affirmed our im pression of the meaning tu ba attached to tho clause uf Iho constitution under consideration. We may be wrong iu tins, but we shall continue tu occupy the same ground till we ure convinced we aro mistaken. We shall attempt to explaiu away nothing. We havo no object to gain in mis-representing the new constitution, and we trust tho spirit of enndor aud fuiruess may prevail in all discussions that may spring up under it. Thai the argument against us may appear in full, we copy tho entire conclusion of its article from tho Enquirer! " The Journal, nfter defining now its position in the canvass as well as tlmt of intelligent Whigs, asks us tu slate explicitly, whether burying grounds and church- cb will not ho taxed under the nuwcoiistitution, unless tbey are relieved by an express uct of some future Legislature? Wo answer as explicitly no, not a bit more lliau under iheold coiistilni'on. cllud the-old constitution been oiiutioiied, Li iho framing of niiy future tux law, churches and Krave-vaids would have to bo spe cially exempted by (he law, tn keep them from being taxed. It is just so under the new ; in frarniiigauy future tax law, churches und grave-yards will have to bo speciully exempted by the law, tu keep them from being taxed. Put the Journal says thai all it and every intelligent Whig bus said is, lhat the only way church-es and grave-yards can escape taxation is fur some future Legislature to pass a law exempting tnn from luxation. If by that the Journal means to say that it is the duty uf county Auditors, now that the new constitution is adopted, to put ou tho duplicate ull church properly, grave-yards, &c, und tax them as other real estate, and thnt they cannot bo exempt from taxation unless lliey are relieved by an ox press act of some future Legislature, we say it is altogether mistaken. One of the provisions of the new constitution declares that 'all laws of the Smte, iu force on the first day of September, 1851, not incontutent with this Constitution, shall continue in force until amended or repealed.' 1 We havo now a general tax law on our statute book. This law, iu the 3d section thereof, states what property shall be exempt from taxation, among which ore ' 1st. All public buildings occupied or used exclusively as public school houses, ores places of public worship, or both ; with the furniture and books (herein, used exclusively lor the accommodation uf school or religious meetings, together with the grounds, not exceeding in any cuso five acres, occupied ihert by, it not leaned or otherwise used with a view to profit. 2d. All lands used exclusively as gravuyuids, or grounds for burying the dead.' So much uf this law as is not inconsistent with iho ci-nstittition will continue iu force until amended or repealed. This law exempts from taxation public school houses, graveyards aud churches ; the now constitution provide that the Legislature may exempt this class ol property from luxation; so there is uo inconsistency, thnt Ur, between this law nnd iho new constitution, and it will, thut fnr at leant, havo to bo executeiluntil amended or ropeuled by Iho Legislature. There is one part of Ihe law inconsistent willi the new constitution, and that is, the exemption ol lauds not exceeding five acres attached to churches. The constitution says : j ' Burying grounds, public school houses, houses used exclusively for public worship, institutions of purely public charity, public property used exclusively for any public purpose, aud personal property to any amount not exceeding in value two hundreddollarslbi each individual, may, by general Jaws, be exempted from taxation.' These vacant lands attached to churches are not included in the property, which the new constitution says may be exempted from taxation ; they must therefore be taxed ; we do not sny they must bo put ou the duplicate uf this year, but ihoy cerlainly must on those of future years. But so far a churches and graveyards are conceruod they will remain untaxed until n future Legislature shall change the present law and refuse to exempt such property from laxation. We hope the Journal is nnswared." There aro several points to notice in the above. And 1st. We meet the remark that ihe new constitution is precisely the same as tbd o'A one on this subject ul taxation with a lint denial. Tbey are entirely dissimilar. Wo ask Ihe Editors of the Enquirer lo take ihe old constitution, and read it through carefully, and then tell us where they find tho clause, or any thing that looks like the clause, that taxes any kind uf property, or make it the duty uf the Legiilature tu assess taxes for any purpose. It doe not exist therein. The only thing that is construed iuto the conferring of that right is a clauso in tho 11th section of the 1st article, w hich says that each branch of the General Assembly " shall have all the power necessary for a branch of the Legislature of a free and independent Siate." If they can find any thing that comes nearer tu it than this, then point it out. The uniform practice under the old constitution has been to tax only such things as were included in terms, aud by uamo, in tho law imposing the tax. When the famous Whig tax law of 1B46 was passed, it introdu- ml a new feature. It expresdy taxed all property in tho State, except such as by its own terms were tu be exempt. Hence the clause quoted from tho law in iho quirer. The law first made a provision that all prop erly should be taxed. Il was not the constitution. If the constitution hail made such a provision, it would avo beep nuiiseuse to strengthen uud ro-athrm it in a laic. But no such folly wns committed. Tho Enqui rer i therefore cbarly wrong uluit it says that the new constitution is not a bit more explicit than the old The Greek Slave, purchased by Mr. Corcoran, of Washington, is now on exhibition in New York. There are three copie of that famous work extant, two of thtm art in England. The Whitf Mule Ticket.

" But burying grounds &c , wtfVp by general laws be exempted from taxation Here is a word usi d that clearly implies a discretion iu the Legislature. Thu first part of the section utter a positive command; the second part gives permission for ihe exercino of a discretion; they both denote, imply and point uut fvfure action The LegiBlature will meet ihe coming winter.

This controversy has arisen from a difference iu the old constitution and Iho now ou the subject of taxing churches, &c. The Enquirer suv the two comliin. tious aro just alike iu this. We aver they are not. The Enquirer says " Had the old constitution been continued in the framing of any future tux law, churches and graveyards would have to bo specially exempted by law to keep ihom from being taxed."

There was no exemption in ilieso luws, and there was no taxation of churches, &c. Why 7 Because the constitution, unlike the new one, did not lax tlietn, and, of course, it did not require a law to exempt them from taxation. This, at once, and effectually settles the case. The Enquirer is clearly wrong iu its inter proration of (he old constitution, as ihe whole history of our legislation goes to establish. Omission.

Put nam and the vicinity assembled extemporaneously for the purpose uf expressing the satisfaction they felt with the conduct of the Convention, and also of particularly and publicly expressing thnt satisfaction to the candidates within reach. Accordingly, to Mr. Vinton, who happened to be at the residence ol a relative in Putnam, and to Messrs. Convers and Lyman, they paid the com pliment of an en masse visit, and received from each of them responses appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Vinton was introduced to the assemblage bv Gen. Goddard, who, in doing so, happily alluded in gonerai Terms io in cnarncter as a statesman, and with j unable emphasis directed attoution to one or two par ticular actions during his long congressional enreor, which had been productive uf more than ordinary ben efit to the country nt large. Mr. Vinton's reply was brief, and as he intimated, would probably have been confined lo acknowledging his acceptance of the nomination conferred upon him by the Convention, and to express his thanks tu his friends present for their approval of that nomination, but the remarks of General Goddard rendered it proper that he should somewhat deviate from his first intention. But as since we commenced writinii this sketch we have received a copy of Mr. Vinton' remarks, wo have the pleasure ol relernng our readers to them. Messrs. Convers and Lvman of course needed no in troduction to the fellow-cilizens amonowhom tbav hitd long reaiueu. cacn oi mem Drieiiy aim ntiy expressed his thank for the attention he had received. We were much pleased lhat Mr, Convers stated it was not his intention to engage personally in the canvass. We consider it improper and of injurious tendency for a candidate for the Supreme Judgeship to personally engage in the political strife that must precede the election, and we earnestly hope lhat all candidates for lhat high station will follow (lie exnmple set by Mr.Convers. Mr. Lymnn, in addition lo acknowledging the kind- no of his friend in calling upon him, referred briefly to the action of the Convention, the large number of delegate who were present, and the entire harmony aud unanimity which influenced their nroceedinss. We expect to hear from Mr. Ljmun often between litis and ucioher. The whole affair passed off admirably and we take as a sood augury, that the canvass has been opened on the Fourth of July and in the Whig county of Mns- Kingum. The Belproand the Hillsboro Railroad quarrel remain unadjusted. Both think they are right, and are talking uf running separato lines to Cincinnati. It wont pay Look at the language of the new iustruiueut Sec tion 2 Article 12 says; " Laws shall be passed taxing, y a uniform rule, all money, credits, investments in uids, Blocks, joint stock companies or otherwise, mid ilsu, all real und personal property, according lo its true vahio in money," Is tht-ro uny such requisition n the old Clearly not. Clearly, by the old consti tution nothing i imposed on the subject of taxation, ut every thing i left tu the wisdom and dicretiou of the Legislature, to tax such properly as they might spe- ify, and by the above extract from the now, it is finally evident that the rule is reversed, and that every thing iu the nmtpe of properly, real or personal, &.c, ii to be taxed. In short, the distinction is this : By tin old constitution nothing is taxed, except it ba included in the tax law ; by the new every thing is faxed, ex cept it be specially exempted by a lax law. Due the Enquirer comprehend the diffi rence T Let us now turn lo the mam bruch of the argument. Doe It require a law, hereafter, tu exempt Church property, &c. from taxation T Wo must be permitted to say (hat tho Enquiter ha made a sophistical argu ment, and wo ask tho close and candid attention of the reader, while wo expose its errors, mid refute iis conclusions. If wo fail in this by clear, logical rousutr ing, then the logical reader v ill certainly kuuw it. Thu 2d sec. of the 12ih art. ul the Constitutiuu reads: " Laws shall be passed, taxing by a uniform rule all money, cretins, ore. oee inu quoiaiiou above. Here is a positive requisition. Hero is a command a duty imposed upon a future legislature, to pass laws taxing all kinds of properly. " Laws iuali, be passed," that Ihe language. It has uu refureuce tu the past laws. They were framed ou a d liferent basis. The tax law does not tax all properly except such as may be ox- empt from taxafion uudei this section. The Enquirer admits that new law on taxation must bo passed to comply willi the Constitution. These law must embody a priuciple taxing all property without any exception. There is no escaping this. Thu legislature mutt lo it, or fuil to comply with their oaths. It is uuo of those imperative provision that are imposed upon them, just as much as it i to fix the salaries of Judge uud officers of State, to provide lor raising revenue to de fray Iho expenses he State, &c, &c, u any discus sion upon this subject we take it for grautcd that iho first legislature will do its duty, and pass such law a uro imperatively required of them. If the aume body can agree to exempt churches, &c., from taxation we have expressed our opinion they would, then tho matter will stand as it doe now undor Ihe old instru ment. But if they fail to incorporate a clause exempt ing llieio item from taxation, then it i inevitably true thnt, under the law required and commanded by this section they must be taxed. Is there any way to es cape from Ihis conclusion 1 We see but one, and that is lor ibe Enquirer to contend that this 2d section doe not uioun that they "shall" do this, but that it means they may do it if they see fit, or merely give them the power ot taxing all kind of properly if they think It ; expedient. But when this section talk of taiing Bank Stock, &c, we presume the Enquirer will not contend that the legislature baa a discretion to do, or not to do, as it sees fit. Then, the term " shall" will mean something more thau permission. It will rise to the dignity of a positive command, which cannot be shunned without compromising with plain duty and disregarding a UaighUorward, positive oath. Remarka ol Mr Vinton.

Vinton rimed! Fdom CM- the County of MuMngum .'I return you my sincere thanks kr this demonstration of your kindness, nnd moat ospeciuny ir ui inenta expressed on your behalf by my friend, (Gen Goddard,) whom you have deputed lo address me. In tMMinir tbrouL'h vour citv on mv way to the East ern State, I was yesterday informed that the Whig Convention, then assembled at uoiumuua, iiuu nominated me lor the office of Governor of Ohio. This nomination, coming from ao distinguished mi assemblage, could not be otherwiio man grainy mg w wr, -uu u miii-a sn as it was unsolicited and unexpected by m I have not yet been officially notified of the nomination, but hftv no doubt notice of it will be amnmunicated tn mo in due time and in an appropriate manner. For this reason, when I heard you were coming lo pay your respects, I douoteu in my own muiu wni-iuw, .lv.. nf .nob a notice, it would be proper for me do more than simply lo return you my thank for your kindness; but the pencil that tin just been made on your behalf render it impossible lor me not to say somethiufl more in reply. It oner a titling occasion v nn nr two thitics that it mav be well enough n.V known. One (and which I am sure will be gratifying to the people of Ohio) is, that having been lor many years a Representative in Congress from this State, I lake it for granted they are not ignorant uf my political opinion; I shall nut, therefore, during this canvass call them from their firesides and business, and congregate them together to listen to addresne from mo, unless some great necessity for it shall arise from some cause not now foreseen. You have been pleased to say that the county of Mu. kin gum gave a large majority against the new conatitu Hon, and, that if the mav bo said to be the last to iv her asseut to that instrument, she will be first in ready nnd cheerful obedience to its requirements. This, gentlemen, is precisely the language that I expected to hear here iu tho Inrge and respectable county ul Mus. kiugnin, which, from the earliest infancy of the State down to the present time, has always exerted a lending and salutary influence upon our public policy. Like many tu you, i iuo Umibted whether, ou the whole, Ihe new constitution would be found to be nn improvement uu mo uiu, anu, under uto influence o that doubt. 1 cast my vote agatn-it its adoption. When the Conven tion inai irameu this instrument was in session my whole time was so much fK-cuoii-d in the disrhnrpe nf indispensable public duties as Iu leave me uo leisure to read the dubatoa of ihe Convention and learn the views of that body. When, however, they presented that instrument lo the people for their consideration, having lime then to devote to ihoBuhiect. I felt it tn im a duty that I, in common with all others, owed to myself, to the community, and to those who shall come after us, to carefully, impattially, and honeslly study and compnre its provision with the old constitution. I could not, however, conceal from myself the fnct, lhat I felt for ihe old conntituiion something of lhat nUec-lion and sentiment which hover nround an old and ven-orated fuimly mansion. I could not turret that as a State we had at the beginning storied out with our political existence under it lhat we had alwnvs lived nu. der its protection that our children had been born and nurtured up in it lhat from a small beginning wo had grown up under il to bo one of iho greatest, most prosperous, and powerful communities of this great republicso much so. that everywhere, all ihe world over, wherever the Siate ol Ohio is known, it is point- eu io auu Bdmiueu to be the tirat and brightest example of unparalted public and private prosperity; and that, so far from failing to perioral Ub accustomed functions, and checking our onward career, we were never in a higher and palmier slate of prosperity uud advancement thau at present. Time had indeed rendered some repair to il necessary; but with some Blight exceptions, the old limbers nun trame worit were a Mound as ever. I did not ink it wise to abandon Ihe comfortable fireside of ie old mansion and move into lliia new political hub- tation, without a certainty that we should bettor our londition. I his question, however, lias been fully and fairly considered by the wholo household, and they tave decided to move. As a private citizen. I shall no over iuto the new habitation, with cheerfulness and contentment, and shall indulge in no fretfuluesBor peevishness because my voice was overruled in this faultily matter. The expediency uf adopting the new constitution is no longer an open question. We uro past it coniideraiion. It is now the constitution of Ihe State, and aa such binding on us all. I sincerely hope it win uisnppoim uie i ears ot alt who doubted the policy of its adoption, and impart u new and decided impulse to the high career of uiir prosperity. Il is now the common properly of all, for good or lor evil. And being the highest law of the Stale, if by your vote and the votes of the people I shall be elevated to the place if their chief magistrate. I here declare that among the thousands who gave their support to tho new con stitution there is uo uno of them who shull be found more anxious, willing and ready than myself honestly to do all in my power to nut it into the fullest and most beneficial operation, according to the true spirit und design of the instrument. lou are correct in saying thnt the first term of the ief magistrate, under the new constitution, will be a period of mnrked interest tu (he people of the Stale. ii uuaouoieuiy must oe in the nrst book iu tho pout- il existence of our eroat Stale is now finished, sealed and committed lo the hand of truihful and faithful his lory. Whatever the future may have iu store for ut, the past, at least, issnfe; we, aud our posterity utter ua, may look back wiih pride and gratification on our past history, in which the old constitution will be a conspicuous and euduring monument of Iho wisdom and forecast of the early fathers of the State. It now remain for us to endeavor, at (he opening of this new lumeoi our History, to rise to a still higher prosper- ty tins ib tho groat work that lies beforo us; and lowever important it mav be to have a chief niaei trate willing and able to help it on, yet, considering the very limited power conferred upon him, it is un louuicdiy oi lar greater moment that Ihe tirst Legislature and the first bench of judges should be composed of wise, able and experienced men. Upon the former will devolve the difficult and important duty uf passing those laws which are necessary to put ihe uew mn- lino uf government into action, and upon Ihe latter. the almost equally import ant duty uf giving a sound and correct interpretation to such parts of the iustiu- mem as mny ne Drought into question, in a word, we have before us the great work of building up a new legislative and new judicial code. Unwise laws at the beginning, or unsound judicial interpretation, will almost certainly be followed by evil consequences, which will be all but impossible to correct in alter time You have done me the honor to advert in very com plimentary and gratifying term to a speech delivered by me in the House of Representatives, on the bill to admit the State of Iowa aud Florida into Hie Union. That speech was delivered at a period of public tranquility, and before the feelings and passions of the pub lic had been excited and roused by the agitation of the question of the annexation of Texas, and the other great, disturbing and unhappy controversies that have since noweu irom inai measure, as ineir common ana primary source. 1 had been led to reflect what influ- oii'-e the great valley of tho Mississippi, in which we well, was destined to have on the stability ol Uie t urn. My own reflection conducted me to the conclu sion that the sure and abiding conservative power of the Union was to be found in that great heart of the country which lies between iho Allegheny and Rocky mountains that for its own self-preservation it must ever hold in check the cenmitigai tendencies ot uie. extremes, both on the Atlantic aud Pacific, and especially on ihe former ocean that nature, aa a duty of overruling necessity to ourselves, had made us (he eiianli- atts of the integrity of the Union. And, however the loliiical elements have since been agitated and disturbed, I still adhere with abiding faith tn every opin ion then ottered bv me. But enoimh has since trans lired to satisfy all cool and reflecting men (bat, in the performance of Ihe high duty and destiny of guarding the integrity of the Union, while we must exact from II others a laithlul observance or the requirement ot he constitution, we must ourselves be equally ready nu wining io respeci nil tue rigni mat are sec urea io hem by that instrument, it is only by Die observance if this rule, on all aide and in all parts of the country that we can hope to get op, and preserve our national existence. In conclusion, Gentlemen, I again return Vuu mv sincere thanks lor llus gratilying demonatrutiuii on your pari, which carries with il a sure promise that, as in all former times, the county of Muskingum will, ul the coming election, be foiiud true tu her own inh-rusU and those ul our uoblo ttiule, ty Tho extra sessioti of the New York Legislature loses its labors to-morrow (Thursday ) Il has h ul a session of thirty day.

It is hardly necessary to assure the Whig, of Franklin county that the com-ing election will be the moat important one that Ohio will have for mauy years, or ha. had in year. pa.t.

Every candid, intelligent man will admit that the selection of proper person as candidate for these places is not only a matter of great importance to Ihe Whig party, but of primary importance in tl. ,'r,i. ests of tho people at large.

Let every Whig in the county feel himself slrucled lo look into the matter, nnd see that the public voice is heard and respected in the coming Conven-tion. It is too lalu to grumble at nominations after they are made, if wo have refused to take interest enough to attend the primary meetings. Let there be consultation. Let our very best, soundeat, ablest men be selected a de(.gllta, and the result will be such as will meet the approbation uf every Whig, and secure a vtgoruus campaign uud a gluriuu victory Whigs think of this!
